Artist Statement

I make paintings about stories of women in moments of self-reflection and celebration. The compositions are often tightly cropped and use bold pattern and saturated color to create emotionally charged moods. Whether contemplative, vulnerable, intense, or humorous, the work seeks to capture an insular moment. They are tied to the reality and imagination inherent in the feminine realm.
